I always wondered how my videos would look in Matrix-vision. Now I know! Demo Reel now in TEXTp resolution.
Animations now viewable in TEXTp
April 1st, 2010Minor website updates
March 29th, 2010I’ve done some tweaking to my website, primarily with updating my resume. I’ve got a blog post in the works where I’ll talk more about the rigging work I’ve been doing lately, so I’ll try to have that up in the next day or two.
New jobs
February 16th, 2010In the past few weeks I’ve accepted a couple of job offers. First up, I’ll be working as a 3D artist with Lich King Studios on a couple of upcoming game projects. I’ve also been hired as a Character TD by Maia Magnus Entertainment to construct or revise several character rigs over the next few weeks. I’ve already started work with Maia Magnus and have learned a bunch of new tricks in Maya (was the pun intentional?) to help improve my character rigging. I’m looking forward to working with both of these companies, and with any luck I’ll be able to post samples of my projects on here at some point. We’ll see!
Jaguar McGuire updates
February 4th, 2010Some of you know that I was involved with a short film project this past year called ‘Jaguar McGuire’. I assisted in and supervised construction of the 3D infrastructure as well as managing digital assets. Production had halted for a while for various reasons, but a new animation team has been assembled at SCAD. They’ve been making a lot of progress on the film over the past few weeks and with any luck, the film will be ready to debut in April.
It’s a really ambitious project and I’ll be relieved to see it completed soon. Check it out at http://www.jaguarmcguire.blogspot.com/
Viva la consolidation!
February 4th, 2010I’m testing automatically posting Wordpress entries to Twitter and Facebook. Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3.
Website updates
February 3rd, 2010I’ve revamped the Portfolio section of my website to include separate galleries for video clips and still images. Now you can watch clips one at a time or see things that aren’t on my demo reel!
Parkview Music Tech Commercial – Final
February 1st, 2010After much gnashing of teeth, I’ve finished the final render and compositing on the Music Tech commercial.
Parkview Music Tech – Dailies
January 23rd, 2010First pass on a commercial I’m working on for the Music Tech program at Parkview High School. Most of the fixes that need to be done are render-related (ambient occlusion, shadows, etc). Some of the animation could use adjustments as well.
Music Tech Commercial – Dailies/Monthlies?
January 15th, 2010With the holidays and job hunts in full swing, development on the music tech commercial had all but halted. Now that things have gone back to normal I’ve been able to work more on it. Barring some minor tweaks (prop placement and such), the hallway environment is finished and lit. Why is light erupting from the door in the back? You’ll see. 
New project: Parkview Music Tech commercial
December 10th, 2009I’ve started a new project that I’ll be working on for the next six weeks. I’ve been asked by an instructor at Parkview High School (Lilburn, GA) to develop a brief commercial promoting the Music Technology program with the hopes of increasing enrollment for the coming school year. I’ll be building the environment for this piece as well as animating the principle characters and handling all the rendering. Dailies will be posted as production continues.
